PA League - Fantasy Paintball TM

PA League - Fantasy Paintball™

AS Gillie gets all official and serious about these things and the phone hasn't stopped ringing since we announced it I thought I'd just pop a quick, informal note in announcements.

FANTASY PAINTBALL™is here!

Basically the idea is the same as for any other fantasy sport...A Fantasy Manager™ will be able to pick a squad of seven players from the published list. Each player has a cash value and managers have up to 50 million quid to spend on their "Dream Team" :D


A team must consist of of 7 players with a maximum of three of in any one of the three available positions, Back, Mid & Front. It will be possible to make transfers during the season and there is a monthly prize for the "Manager of the Month". Manager of the series will win a minimum of 500 quid in cash.

Highest scoring player in each category will also win a prize at the end of the season.

We're working on the online registration now but the list of players, their positions, teams, value and "skill rating" will be published on the PA's web site after next weekend and in the Jan. issue of the PA's magazine. Fantasy managers will be able to register their teams from Feb 01st onwards.

If you're wondering how we can do this it's actually quite simple. Well it is for us at any rate :D Without going into the mechanics it basically comes down to the way the the PA events are set up, organised and run...and in no small part the people we have doing it.

Once again the PA takes another intuitive leap forward to promote paintball to the masses and make stars out of our own people...and there's more to come. It just gets better & better :)
 
I just had to post this....just out of curiosity we ran Rulebook Russ through the FPL's "Player Value Generator" program and he clocks in at a cool £12.2 million quid...

But before any of you think of signing him up remember he's a ref and not playing...but if he was...

...Nah I can think of a better way to spend 12 million quid <g>
 
How? Well that's a top secret & very clever piece of software written by mad dwarves, thrashed into a drug induced frenzy by Jose D. ....how the hell else do you think anyone could value Russ at 12 million quid :)

It's a modifcation of the system used to determine the teams odds for William Hill for the PA cup last year and is based largely on a players experience and skill level...

The beauty of the system is of course that you could spend 12million quid on a player for your fantasy team who turns out to be a complete donkey and 350K on a noobie who turns out to be a total star...that's the fun of gambling <g>
 
Hey Tom...as I can actually have a go at this seeing as by the rules of the gaming comission (or whoever it is in the UK that governs such things) I can't influence the outcome in any way...I'll put you in my Fanatsy Team...or one of them anyway...

Note: kindly DO NOT interpret this as "Hatts has fantasies about Tom Tom"... :D
